Baby Products Reviews of My Brest Friend Pillow, Sunburst
Customer Review: A "life saver" ring of a pillow
Summary: 5 Stars
Started with the Bobby, and I could not get comfortable while feeding my daughter. I needed my husband to prop additional pillows under the Bobby for support while I fed her. If I needed to switch breasts with the Boppy...fugehdabouit. The Breastfriend needs no additional support whatsoever, and never slides away from you if reach forward for water, the phone, or shift your weight because your bum is sore after the birth. Some women wrote they had it strapped to them for 6 months... I am going on 11 months. Thank God I decided to bring it with me on a flight from Tokyo to the US. Can you imagine propping up 15 airline pillows, and then worry abut the baby bumping her head on the arm rests. Don't waste time, space in you house, or your money on the Bobby...the Breastfriend is the only pillow you will need.Customer Review: Boppy Would Be Better
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased the Breast Friend over the standard Boppy thinking it was better designed to support the newborn during breastfeeding. I do think this is true but it has some major issues that make me wish I had just stuck to the standard Boppy. It is made of hard Styrofoam with makes it difficult to sit in chairs with arms while you nurse. You have to wrap it around you (there is no place to put that back support if you do not) which just digs into your back if you are sitting in a chair and leaning back at all. When you stand up, you have this thing clinging to you and no hands free to remove it (forget trying to get it off without waking the baby) which is a hassle too. Finally, it is not as versatile as a Boppy. It might work for some, but I just ended up using pillow(s) instead.Customer Review: Way Better Than Boppy!
Summary: 5 Stars
I only had the boppy pillow with my 1st child & never got the hang of using it...my baby always seemed to be falling foward or backward which made nursing awkward. My 2nd baby was born early & was small so we had a hard time with nursing. It was hard trying to juggle him while helping with latching on correctly. I decided to purchase one of these pillows & am very grateful that I did. It has made nursing much easier & more enjoyable! It gives me great back support & my baby has a flat surface to lie on. The newer one that I got has a clip & not the velcro to fasten it so it's quiet. The one concern I had was if it was going to fit me properly cuz I am a smaller build...it fits great & is very adjustable! My advice: Don't waste your money on a boppy!!Customer Review: Mom of 3--best baby product I have
Summary: 5 Stars
I breastfed my first child for 18 months and my second child for 16 months--and I am so upset I didn't know about this product! Now I'm breastfeeding my third child and I wear this pillow at least 6 hours a day. It's so comfortable that I just leave it on sometimes after he falls asleep! I can walk upstairs, answer the phone, vacuum--whatever--and he doesn't wake up. He's only 10 pounds and the pillow supports his weight; I just keep a hand on him for safety. It offers great back support and it fits while I'm sitting in my computer chair (with arms). The Boppy is bulky and makes you completely immobile; the Brest Friend is a much better choice. Did I mention I love this pillow? I'm wearing it right now!Customer Review: This is a must for breastfeeding
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this item based on other reviews. I also received a boppy but decided to use the brest friend pillow for breastfeeding.
This pillow makes breastfeeding easier. My newborn can lay on the pillow for support and I can use my arm to wrap her without having to actually hold her in my arm. My hand is free to support and adjust her head. She also seems very comfortable on the pillow.
I did have to wait a few days after coming home from the hospital before using the pillow because it didn't fit around my waist. But after those few days, I had no problems putting it on and using it.
I would definitely recommend this pillow to others who are breastfeeding.
